A new legal structure for charities, to be called the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), should be set up, according to a Law Reform Commission paper being published today.

The new structure would replace the various legal forms of organisation used by charities, which include charitable trusts, limited companies and unincorporated associations."
